The "PERCORSI 4" project by the Ministry of Labor and Social Policies has extended the deadline for applications until October 21, 2024. The initiative aims to integrate unaccompanied foreign minors and young migrants up to 24 years old into Italian society and the workforce.

The deadlines for submitting applications for "PERCORSI 4," a project by the Directorate General for Immigration and Integration Policies of the Ministry of Labor and Social Policies, implemented by Sviluppo Lavoro Italia spa (formerly Anpal Servizi spa), have been extended.

This project creates integrated pathways for the social and work integration of unaccompanied foreign minors (UFM) and young migrants up to 24 years old who entered Italy as UFMs.

The pathways, promoted by public and private labor market operators, are based on the "individual allowance" tool. This tool guarantees a range of support services for skill enhancement and development, social and work integration, and guidance towards autonomy.

An integral part of these pathways is extracurricular internships lasting six months, with the possibility of extension for an additional six months.

Clearance requests, as referred to in Article 11 of the Notice, can be submitted using the prescribed methods no later than October 21, 2024.
